Temporary disability (sick) benefit
The social benefit paid by the employer from the first day of illness: average daily pay × working days of incapacity, at most 25 MCI (108,125 KZT in 2026) for each calendar month; for a work injury or occupational disease, 100 % of average pay with no cap.
ADP = P / DS_i = min(ADP · d_i; 25 МРП)S = S₁ + S₂Average pay follows the Unified rules (Order No. 908): the pay of 12 months divided by the working days of the period by the balance, or by hours under summarized working time. If the illness starts in one year and ends in the next, the benefit and the cap use each year's MCI. The benefit is also paid in full, with no cap, to working veterans of the Great Patriotic War, veterans equated to them and veterans of combat operations abroad. The employer may pay extra on top of the benefit (Labour Code Art. 133(5)). Withholdings from the benefit are not calculated here.
